The U.S. government said today it has reached the H-1B cap, and if this year is similar to previous years, 70 percent of applicants are under the age of 35, and a major portion will take jobs at offshore outsourcing companies. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) said it received a "high number" of H-1B petitions, but was unable to give a final tally because it was still counting them.
